The Trip
Ok so I know you've been waiting. I think this will have to be in a few installments because of picture overload- so it'll keep you entertained for a few days. We left on Thursday morning- plan left around 11. I gave M Benadryl right before we boarded and she slept over 1/2 the way!! Yay for Benadryl! We got there without a hitch and got our rental car. M was pretty funny on the bus.
We went to Cousin Marian's house- got the pack-n-play set up and went to Ralph's to get some food for M and diet coke for us. When everyone got back around we went to Santa Monica to the pier and walked around the beach.
Wow- M loves the sand and water so so much. She couldn't walk on the dry sand, but it didn't seem to irritate her much. She thought it was the coolest thing.
We have about 100 pictures of her playing in the sand it was so freaking cute. More to come...
Stay tuned for Disneyland.......

The Weekend
I think October posts will start...The ____ since that seems to be the theme. Well- I worked all weekend and B was out of town, so M spent Sat and Sun with her Grandma. They were very very busy. Saturday they went to St Joe to a kid/dog Halloween contest (the kid and dog dress up). Cousin Murphy always participates. Here's Mira with cousin Max watching all the fun. 
Then they went to Prairie Village to My friend Sarah's twin boys' first bday party. Here are Sarah, Charlie, and Jonathan. 
They all had a pretty good time it seems. M wanted to climb up the slide,
and they played on the swing,
and on some other toys.
Sunday they went to KC, KS to visit mom's friend Carolyn and her girls. One of her kids has a little boy, Caleb- here are the kids together.
So that's all for the weekend. On Thursday we are taking M to Los Angeles- yes, to Disneyland and to visit Cousin Marian! I know lots of ppl think that's dumb because she's so little- but it'll still be cute. What an adventure it will be.

The Stash
Ok, so if you want to talk to me about excess, shut it. I thought it would be nice to show everyone our cloth- complete. I pick up something new every now and then and sell something off also, but this has pretty much been it for a long time now. The top drawer will last probably 3 days without washing. The bottom drawer probably 2 days but if we got out all the prefolds it would last probably 4 or 5. So now you see why the excess is NEEDED! (Little man just got his first order of newborn prefolds today but I haven't washed them yet. He doesn't have this drawer storage in his room so not sure what we're going to do about that, but his baby stash will be nearly all prefolds and covers until he gets bigger- they grow to fast at that stage.
This is Mira's diaper changing station. On the left pins (in a soap bar to keep them slick for sticking), disposable wipes, cloth wipes, then the changing pad, then powder, lotion, and diaper rash creams.
On the left 2 rows we have all in one's and pockets (very few pockets as I am not a fan). On the right two rows we have fitteds (just no waterproof outer layer). Not as pretty, but so soft! Missing are two all in one's and one fitted from this morning.
Bottom drawer- on the left are night time diapers and fleece covers. Middle back are extra doublers if needed and fleece toppers. Middle front are waterproof day covers and preemie prefolds (to use for extra absorbency and for the little man). In the back right are premium prefolds- still way to big for M so we use them to cover the changing pad and in front of those are regular prefolds which are sometimes used for naps and night. The row on the right are infant prefolds which are what we use daily (when not using the top drawer dipes!). Missing from this drawer are about 50 prefolds! HA! Just kidding...but a lot still (prefolds are CHEAP). There are also three day covers missing. 
Just incase you were curious. :)

The Grouch
Ok, so M has her first REAL runny nose. I HATE IT! It runs down to her lip nearly constantly. I've been giving her sudafed and cough medicine. I tried to get a pic, but it wouldn't focus close up and I never catch it when it's really bad. Her coughing woke her up 3 times last night and I would just rock her for a few mins and then lay her back down. I know she has to feel like crap. She is SO GROUCHY (most of the time). She won't eat or drink much- I assume everything tastes bad. No fevers though- so hopefully it'll end soon.
Here she is sleeping away- she's been really tired.
Ok, so I know this is bad- but the fussiness goes away with Baby Einstein. So what if she never talks, right? She usually watches Old McDonald every day when when we're in the computer room and plays and will sometimes catch a few scenes. This afternoon I switched it up on her and she's watching My first signs. She is enthralled. She is laughing at it and trying to touch the people. She freaking loves it. Her head goes back and forth from person to person on the screen. It's pretty hilarious. Oh- she stood up by herself today!! YAY! All motor skills now accomplished...check. Now if she would only get a word or two- maybe without the baby einstein.

18 week appt...
So I went to see Dr. Morris for my monthly appointment for little man. Everything is fine- I didn't gain a SINGLE pound!! WOOHOO!!!! *dances* I guess I better keep up the walking! We discussed the ultrasound- which she says looks perfect. She said- no, ultrasounds are not "supposed" to be fun- they're looking for abnormalities (which they didn't find). Then she said, "And you know why that is." And I do...So, I should get over it in a sense. She always does a good job of bringing me back to earth when I start to get worried about something dumb. That's why she's good for me. We all know I can obsess about things. So anyway- things are good, little man seems to be happy in there as far as we know. Almost 1/2 way done! Sheesh!
M has a cold- she keeps waking up coughing. I actually got her up last night and gave her some medicine so she'd sleep better. Then I had to wake her up at 8 so I could get her to Pepper's on time. Poor baby. It's always something...
